Colonia Salina Chica vacation rentals

Our trip to the Villa at Quinta Ixchel was everything we hoped for. Having Katy as an English speaking host/resource made a HUGE difference and was such a bonus to this entire experience. The villa was super clean, pool and beach were amazing and as a major bonus - the bed was SO comfortable!! A wonderful trip all around!

This was my 2nd stay here. I love the location. Love the the pool and the ocean steps away.

Very walkable for us. Pretty view over the water. The bedrooms are all en suite which made for a great stay for 3 adult couples.

Tropical gem in the middle of Isla with easy access by foot or cart to town. Loved our beautifully decorated villa with a comfy bed, plenty of hooks, hangers, and drawers made it easy to fully unpack and make it our home for five days. Coffee and wine provided. Lots of towels and daily housekeeping. The property was spotlessly clean. The pool was warm enough to never be chilly but still refreshing. Relaxed for hours poolside where at most there were six other people but often had it to ourselves. Excellent communication with our host - they even zipped up to the ferry dock to bring me a left behind item. Highly recommend!

As advertised. Beautiful property

The draw for us was the private beach, and being away from the busy town (Villa Makax is about 1/2 from town via golf cart, heading towards Punta Sur). Loads of beach clubs, Garrafon National Park, dining on the lagoon, quiet at night - a perfect location. We were able to snorkel off the beach (bring your own gear so you can do this anywhere) and found lots of fish (under dock pilings, hiding from the pelicans!) and even a small stingray further away. Definitely an 'island time' property, don't expect perfection, be grateful for all the special characteristics - attractive rooms, comfy bed, clean, outside seating area. Cottages near the pool have an ocean view, and are just steps from the sand. We stayed in Perla - nearer the road, but still nice. Warm pool, beautiful seating area, with a sort of bar area where former guests had left unused alcohol. Note that you can't purchase alcohol on the island after 5pm on a Sunday. Steve and Lindell were very warm and accommodating. The maintenance staff were super friendly, as were their two puppies and rabbit. The other highlight was Chico - the property dog, he was my shadow, and very welcome. Bring shampoo.

The whole experience was wonderful. Owners are in their cottage and socialize occasionally. They are very nice and helpful. We had a golf cart for the week which made coming and going all over the island very easy. Cottage was clean, bottled water dispenser inside, ice cube trays and full size fridge. Pool was super, about 50 steps to the sea. It's exactly like it looks in the pictures.

The house was a highlight of the trip! Beautiful view, fun pool, close to restaurants, grocery and beach. There was a small pullout in one roomthat was useful.
